dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to evaluate the content and organisation of Home Management textbooks used at the Senior Secondary Schools in Nigeria. Two commonly used Home Management Textbooks at the Senior Secondary Schools were selected for evaluation. These are Book I -- Home Management Textbook by CESAC (1980) Macmillan publisher Ltd., Nigeria. Book II - Home Management for School and Colleges by Anyakoha E. and Eluwa E. (1991) Africana Fep. The following evaluation criteria were used:i) Content Coverage ii) Freedom of content from sex bias iii) Quality and location of questions used in the textbook iv) Quality of Activities and practicals contained in each textbook. v) Ease of language used in each textbook. vi) Provision of appropriate study Aids. vii) Quality of illustration used in the textbook. Instruments used for collecting data included:i) Use of Check List of topics contained in Home Management Curriculum for Senior Secondary School for assessing content coverage for each book, ii) Assessing the gender of pronounce used on the preface for describing the target audience of the book and determining percentage book space devoted to photographs and drawings for each gender and for combined gender, iii) Use of Questionnaire iv) Calculation of percentage book space devoted to Activities and Illustrations, v) Calculation of Readability co-efficient using Dale Chall formula. Both books have very satisfactory scores in the areas of content coverage, quality of activities/practical work and illustration, although the use of colour is very inadequate. On the other hand the language used in the two textbooks was found to be difficult for the age group of learners. Book II exhibited sex bias, it also lacked intersperced questioned and did not provide summary at the end of each chapter. Book I was free from sex bias but had no table of index, no table of glossary and no summaries at the end of each chapter.en_US
